i bought Jerusalem by sami and ottolenghi and loved and cooked most of its recipes it made me realize a palastinian cousine is way more than Manaeesh and zaatar and was abit hesitate about getting falastine book, thought it might be a repitition of something that i already have. buts its Not am glad i bought it. it complete the journey and adds alot of healthy, simple, uncomplicated recipes that has alot of soul in it.

Great cookbook with lots of delicious authentic Palestinian dishes. We have tried out many of the dishes in the book and they all turned out excellent.

Beautiful journey to Palestine through its food, stories and tradition. Great recipe beautifully displayed.

Amazing cookbook, wonderful recipes

What a treasure. Missing out if you haven’t got one already. Getting this as a gift for all my family and friends. Absolutely beautiful

dirty front cover on the book. Recipes looked lovely

Wow, what an amazing book. I am working towards trying each of the fantastic dishes. Very well written!

This beautiful cookbook is filled with lovely Mediterranean recipes that are delicious! The recipes take some time to prepare (you'll be chopping lots of fresh herbs) but well worth the effort and time. You won't be disappointed. The book also includes a wonderful account of Palestinian cooking and photos.

I love recipe books, I'm a "repeat offender". But this recipe book is probably one that I love the most. The recipes are unique, yet simple, easy to follow & readily available ingredients that aren't difficult to find. I like the stories behind some of the recipes. The photos are beautiful & enticing - they make me want to cook each & every recipe with many options from vegetarian to seafood to meat. I've cooked a number of the recipes so far & have loved them all. I would highly recommend this book. I've learnt so much about middle-eastern food, beyond the usual meals.

Sami Tamimi - socio della prima ora di Yotam Ottolenghi - e Tara Wigley - sua co-autrice sin dagli albori - in questo libro non celebrano solo il cibo palestinese, ma la Palestina in toto: il cibo, le persone, i luoghi. Se da qualcuno Falastin viene considerato una semplice copia dell'arci-noto Jerusalem per la similitudine delle ricette, vale la pena andare oltre e leggerlo dall'inizio alla fine proprio per la profondità dei racconti contenuti: storie di profumi e delle comunità ad essi legate. Le ricette, ça va sans dire, sono precise e perfettamente replicabili. Un libro da avere nella propria biblioteca anche se non si è appassionati di cucina.

I purchased this cookbook in December 2020. 5 years later, it is the cookbook we reach the most for. It has stood the test of time in being useful, easy to read and informative. Our favorite recipes to make are definitely the chicken shawarma pie, Balilah, kofta with tahini potato onions, Sifha (open meat pie) and of course, the knafeh.
